Assessment methods

The assessment of learning is done through a one-hour final written examination with multiple choice questions, in which is not allowed the use of books, notes, and computer. The written test seeks to ascertain the knowledge and technical skills and basic computer skills necessary for the use of the main biomedical instrumentation and the main information technology tools.

With regard to assessment, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is prohibited. Any use of AI constitutes a violation of academic integrity.

Students with learning disorders and\or temporary or permanent disabilities: please, contact the office responsible (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en/for-students) as soon as possible so that they can propose acceptable adjustments. The request for adaptation must be submitted in advance (15 days before the exam date) to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of the adjustments, taking into account the teaching objectives.
